Apparently a good visit to Starkville wears off within 24 hrs.

Why do y'all get worked up over a bunch of 18 year old kids?
I'd love to be nailing down top 15 classes every year but it's not going to happen for a myriad of reasons. Maybe, just maybe, if we get our heads out of our asses on the NIL deals we might have a reasonable shot at a top 15 class every few years but I'm not holding my breath.
Years ago, I read a piece from Bobby Bowden where he said FSU's demise during the last of his tenure was, he thought, his obsession with recruiting stars. I think he meant he didn't evaluate on his own enough and relied on the gurus.
I still think Leach will get the best class he has had in his carreer in 2022.
AJ Allen- how do we look for him.

Ho Hum
Blanton pusses out because he's scared to fight for a spot. Imagine that! I tried to tell you he wasn't a big loss before. I'd take his stars but he's no difference maker.
Warned you, it's going to be fun til Feb. Just hang on. Don't get caught up in the BS and ebb and flow. Still got a shot to be around top 25. Still another surprise waiting.
Never get caught up in the overselling of things either. Sometimes you've got to simply use common sense (I know that's tough for a couple people)
The difference in being ranked 35th or 25th is a few emails from Paul and Steve to the guy above them. I look at who we are recruiting hard and are we signing them. I look at other offers. I used to look at film and talk to coaches. I don't do that much anymore. Now I look for opinons from posters I trust like IYOK but he's gone AWOL.
I believe Blanton was told to get in or get out by both in state schools and they didnt like it.
Any kid that plays in that league should be the absolute best player on the field and I did not see that in the two games I watched. That team from Tennessee skull dragged them I think the WR was better for them than he was. I am still surprised he is not coming here, but anyone who commits to one school for a sport then to another for a different one you know something aint right.
I guess I'm now expecting pain and suffering like usual on Wednesday.
Rogers doesn't seem to be happening, Lewis and Nicholson seem to be in doubt, and Williams is going to hear a lot from OM during this dead period.
Doubt Wednesday goes well unless someone has some info that is contrary to the rumor mill and what normally happens on an MSU signing day.
Now that the ship has sailed on Blanton do we go after Zy Ford? He's smaller but looks faster than Blanton, at least on film. I saw him early in the year and wasn't awed by him but from what I've read he's got a blue collar mentality and that's the kind that have traditionally thrived at MSU. Any chance we go after him now?
So what was the ultimate deal with K. Rodgers? All along it was said that Manny was the tie to Miami based on his relationship with the family. No Manny and the kid still wants to go to the U apparently.
Other than the lure of the city anybody else know anything?
I know you can't cry over what you never had in the first place, but seemed that one was trending out way until yesterday.
On the Hartzog kid - seems worth taking a chance on given the news of the day, but seems the staff just is not interested in him. I know he camped at State so they must have not been impressed.
Talk about dead period / this thread is like Deja Vu from years prior
Commercecomet24, how you feeling about Nicholson today?
Never saw it coming**
I mean really it’s every year about 2 weeks out they try to toe everyone up just for the same stuff to happen. With that said can you imagine being so scared or inferior that you would pay a recruit to NOT go to a school. That’s insane right?
How many do we sign tomorrow?
We are 16 commits, Steve says Moss and Jordan most likely won't sign tomorrow - so that puts us at 14;
Ramsey
Sledge
Trevion
Seem to be in the boat.
Decarlos
Dinkins
Percy Lewis
Seem 50/50 or better
I'm guessing we won't sign more than 22 tomorrow, so who am I missing?
You've never said who any of the guys are so I wouldn't know whomever they are. I'm only stating 3 days ago it was all good with everyone. I personally don't care about recruiting I've lived it and know sources are purely guessing. Kids will tell you whatever when they're in front of you. I honestly prefer the portal over high school recruiting.
